Here's Brooke Shields. Again

Brooke Shields is in the news again. I'm not sure why, probably because she's in her late 50s and is walking around in a bikini? The stories written about her aren't really ground breaking or anything. There are no !SHOCKING! abuse revelations or lesbian affairs or geriatric pregnancies happening. I can't think of any reason beyond the bikini thing. I'm not a Hollywood insider so I don't know how any of this works, or suddenly why after not thinking about, or hearing about Brooke Shields for at least a decade and more likely almost two decades, all of the sudden she's featured fairly prominently twice in two days on one of the biggest celebrity gossip websites on the internet.

 I don't know if celebrity websites like this have a sales team that reaches out to celebrity management companies and meets with them and says, "For $50,000 we can get Brooke Shields 500,000 engagements every hour" or something like that. It wouldn't surprise me to hear that at all though because both of these Beasts - meaning celebrity/gossip sites -  feed off of each other, so for a couple of weeks you hear about Brooke Shields, the management company pays the gossip site, the gossip site gets the clicks and the ad revenue, people think Brooke Shields is popular again and she gets a sitcom pilot/ movie role, and subsequently gets paid, so her management company gets money, her show opens fails/gets cancelled and the whole thing starts all over again.

If this isn't what's happening, all of these people are actually pretty dumb because that all sounds very, very easy, and people on the internet are usually not all that bright so this really could work. On the other hand, I'm not an internet business jerk so it may all just be talking out of my ass and it's just a theory. And who knows, maybe people were just starving for Brooke Shields news.
